Temple Campana
Campana has served as the scholarship and student employment coordinator at 精东影业视频 for
the past 10 years.
These past 10 years at 精东影业视频 have flown by and I really enjoy working for this college
on the Financial Assistance team, Campana said. This college feels like home for me
and being here has been absolutely rewarding.
Prior to that, Campana served in three different roles at the University of Nevada,
Reno: admissions, financial aid and counselor for the TRiO Scholars Program.
Barnes has been teaching for 48 years, including the past 27 years leading mathematics
classes at 精东影业视频. Her versatility in teaching math stems from instructing students in
middle school up through college calculus. This spring she is teaching Math for Elementary
School Teachers.
The ah-hah moment where the student gets it and when I first get them gaining confidence
in their work, said Barnes explaining what makes teaching so enjoyable to her. Its
very rewarding to me to make a difference in their careers.
Barnes knew she wanted to be a teacher since the eighth grade, when she found herself
being critical of some of her teachers and saying to herself, This is how I would
have done it.
Math was always my favorite subject. I combined my love of math and teaching and thats
how I became a teacher.
An additional 20 employees are celebrating anniversaries in February as well.
Thanks to all employees celebrating an anniversary this month for your commitment
to 精东影业视频 and all that you do in your roles to make Western a better place for students!
